"good."
Huang Jing looked at Jiang Deng and praised him, "At such a young age, he has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. This kind of cultivation talent is simply amazing."
Jiang Deng said modestly: "To be honest, I have useless spiritual roots, but you are the only one who praises my talent for cultivation, oh no, I am a demon."
Huang Jing: “…”
The number of strange humans has increased again.
Nangong Xiangrui hurriedly said, "Mother, she wants to borrow the Soul Summoning Pearl. Considering how much she has helped our Nangong family, could you please take it out now?"
Huang Jing nodded, "Okay, since you are my daughter's benefactor, you are my benefactor as well. Naturally, I will lend you this Soul Summoning Pearl."
After saying that, Huang Jing opened her mouth, and a flash of light appeared. She actually spit out a crystal clear inner pill, which was flashing with light and went straight to Jiang Deng's palm.
Is this the Soul Summoning Pearl?
Jiang Deng was a little surprised. It turned out that the so-called soul-summoning bead was actually the inner elixir of a transformed demon cultivator.
Yes, if it's a celestial-level demon beast that has already cultivated into a human form, its inner elixir can indeed awaken the intelligence of other spirit beasts. I wonder if this thing will be of any use to A-Tu...
"Thank you, senior."
Jiang Deng considered it inappropriate to keep using someone else's summoning bead, so it would be best to use it up on the spot and return it, so he immediately took off the yellow vine tied on his head.
Seeing this, Huang Jing frowned and said, "This is just a very common dodder seed. At best, it is just an ordinary spiritual beast."
"I see that you're cultivating quite fast, and your future is limitless. Why waste your spiritual energy awakening this creature's intelligence? Even if a mortal-level spirit beast is awakened, it's useless. It's better to give up awakening it and go to our Nangong family's spirit beast farm to pick out a heavenly-level spirit beast."
Jiang Deng shook his head and said firmly, "Atu is not my spirit beast, but my partner."
Hearing this, Huang Jing couldn't help but be in a trance. She was shocked and moved by Jiang Deng's words.
Once upon a time, she thought so too.
However, after transforming into a human form and becoming a powerful demon cultivator, she integrated into the human community as a human, got married and had children, and gradually changed her original idea.
Later, for the benefit of the Nangong family, she agreed to her husband's proposal to keep the demon beasts of her own race in captivity. She even forcibly used her inner elixir to awaken the spirit beasts' consciousness, making them the spiritual pets of the Nangong family, thus losing their freedom...
Is it really right for her to do this?
She had never thought about this before, but why did she feel a little uneasy today?
While Huang Jing was thinking, Jiang Deng had already used the power of chaos to activate the soul-summoning bead and awaken Asu's intelligence.
The vines flashed yellow.
The next moment, a familiar female voice sounded in Jiang Deng's sea of consciousness.
"Jiang Deng," Ah Tu's doubtful voice sounded, "Didn't I die? Why do I see you again?"
Jiang Deng smiled casually, "Have you forgotten the clone you left with me? I gathered your soul and allowed it to parasitize on this vine."
"I see. Thank you very much."
Asu's voice was full of gratitude and vitality.
After a near-death experience, she was no longer so impulsive. She said calmly, "I've thought about it. You saved my life, so I can't waste it so easily. When I'm stronger than Duan Chuan, I'll kill him and avenge Qin Feng!"
Jiang Deng couldn't help but curl his eyes, "It's not you, it's us. As Qin Feng's good friend, of course I have my share of her hatred."
"Alright! Let's go together and make sure Duan Chuan becomes heartbroken!"
Asu said with full confidence.
"By the way," Jiang Deng asked, "A-Tu, since your spiritual intelligence has been successfully awakened, can you transform into a human form?"
Ah Tu sighed, "Not yet. I'm just a lowly dodder. Unlike those heavenly spirit beasts, I can't easily transform into a human form. Moreover, this vine is just a clone of mine, still in its infancy. You need to feed me more. Only when I get enough nutrition can I grow and transform into a human form."
"Nutrition?"
Jiang Deng blinked curiously, "What should I feed you to be nutritious?"
"Slurp—"
Ah Tu swallowed her saliva and said, "Ah, I'm not picky. I'll eat the flesh and blood of high-level cultivators, demon cultivators, devil cultivators, and evil cultivators... I'll eat them all."
Jiang Deng: “…”
Isn't this being picky?
Compared with these things, it would be easier to just eat spirit stones directly.
As if sensing Jiang Deng's embarrassment, Ah Tu immediately said, "How about this, let's sign a contract first. From now on, when our cultivation levels improve, we can both help each other improve. This way, our advancement will be even faster."
"good."
Jiang Deng nodded. This idea sounded good.
Soon, she received the contract condensed from Asu's spiritual consciousness.
Looking at the meaning of the contract rune, Jiang Deng raised his brows slightly. It turned out to be a master-servant contract?
"Atu, this is unlike you. I thought you would be the one in charge." Jiang Deng joked.
Ah Tu said angrily: "Sign it if you want!"
Jiang Deng chuckled and said, "Sign, sign, sign. I sign."
While saying this, Jiang Deng changed the master-servant contract into an equal contract before signing it.
Ah Tu was surprised and said, "Are you stupid? If it's an equal contract, you can't restrain me!"
"Why should I restrain you?"
Jiang Deng narrowed his eyes and smiled, "In my eyes, you are not my pet, but my good friend. There is no such thing as who is the vassal of whom."
Ah Tu seemed quite moved, her voice a little choked, "My dear girl, I know that you humans don't have the longevity of us demon cultivators. When you die, I will definitely wear mourning clothes for you and send you off to the west."
Jiang Deng's mouth twitched, "...There's no need to honor me so much, I can't bear it."
Worried that Asu would say something nonsense to anger him again, Jiang Deng quickly cut off contact with Asu and prepared to return the Soul Summoning Pearl to Huang Jing.
When I looked up, I saw Huang Jing and Nangong Xiangrui, a mother and daughter, wiping their tears and talking to each other from the heart.
Huang Jing patted Nangong Xiangrui on the shoulder and said soothingly, "I heard that you and Yan Ming are planning to attend the Dao Discussion Conference. Don't worry, take him with you. Your father is under the care of Wei Niang. I will help you protect the Nangong family and wait for you to come back and inherit the position of head of the family."
"Um."
Nangong Xiangrui nodded with emotion.
She wiped away her tears, turned around and picked up the Red Plum Sword that had fallen to the ground. Looking at the crimson blade, she said gravely, "I must go to Kaitianmen in person and return the sword to Pei Ranzhi."
Hearing this, Jiang Deng touched his chin, thinking about something.
Kaitianmen is the number one sword sect in the ten regions.
As for this Pei Ranzhi?
As expected, it was the young master of the Pei family who was engaged to Nangong Xiangrui.
It turns out that Nangong Xiangrui's fiancé is also at Kaitianmen. I feel like there's going to be something interesting to watch later...
Hehe, she loves watching this kind of melodramatic drama of broken engagement the most!
